how is that a bad thing?

It is not, the point is if you do that 2000 times it gets old.
>>
>>154610822
but it hasnt been done 2000 times
and why should it matter if its done a lot or a little?
if something is intrinsically good, like air, then you can breathe the same thing in for pretty much the rest of your life and not get tired of it

It's just a shitty mary sue.

>>154610847
>evendoe movies, games and cartoons are obsessed with this trope
first of all, it hasnt actually happened 2000 times
if you want to talk about video games, then gruff asshole dad is still more common than it
and second of all, it wouldnt matter if it did happen because it is intrinsically good and its goodness is not affected by how often its seen

Women in positions of power are often compensating for their lack of natural strength and size by acting aggressive and arrogant and those traits are unattractive and often written through expressions of personal greivance from the writers, leading to an unappealing character and therefore an unappealing show. If you want to reduce that down to its most derivative interpretation of intent, then you could claim it to be sexist, by which I would ask you why sexism, and by extension racism and all other liberal anathemas are even fought if they flow so naturally to a logical state, held up only by the idea of individualism blind to the common pattern recognitions of the human condition.

Why must I socially bend so far into an inclusive stance if said stance makes unlikeable stories? Because it’s nice to people who aren’t nice to me? So what?

>>154610822
Then why would you be trying to go back to the thing that’s been done 2 million times instead of the next new thing

You can't into normal conversations because you're autistic.
Also can't discern personal taste from "intrinsic" value, because you're autistic.

It's just a shitty mary sue on the same level as the blue eyed prince.

>old is bad new is good

>>154610875
>You can't into normal conversations because you're autistic.
its neither happened the number of times you claimed nor is it even the majority of protagonists who have ever been made, and the longer the timespan used the more obvious it is that it is nowhere close to being a majority

>Also can't discern personal taste from "intrinsic" value, because you're autistic.
to be able to get tired of something implies that its value only comes from novelty, an extrinsic value
but one cannot be tired of girlbosses because they are valuable in and of itself rather than an appeal to novelty

You said this. So which is it?

See? You're autistic and can't into figurative speech.
>girlbosses are good because they just are ok?
>i don't get tired of them so that menas the value is intrinsic
Autistic x2

>>154610899
>You're autistic and can't into figurative speech.
and from both a literal and figurative point of view, it is untrue
stoic male action hero is still more common and yet no one tires of them

You mean weeb shit then yes, but westerners are obsessed with mary sues.

Gotten cliche and ironically more damaging to the idea of femininity than stereotypical female roles ever were.

Serious answer is women interact with media differently than men, averaged out and girlboss is pretty much a code-word for feminism-addled authors reinterpreting all male leads as mean assholes, then casting the female characters in that mold, as a swap, for equality. And to top it off, they chuck the hero's journey and any other vehicle for growth, because the feminist icon girlboss can't start out flawed. It's a triple-cursed approach to fiction and produces predictable results. Just inventing a character from a fun premise and not thinking with political slogans will give you whatever you want without the bile and conceit.

It's been explained multiple times. Maybe someone else has an issue of pretending not to understand.
